Winter Series SIs 2017-18

hi All,

here’s the SI’s for the Winter, just in case we get a sail this weekend.

Calling all dinghy sailors,

This weekend is the last sailing weekend of Autumn with 2 races on Saturday and culminating in the End of Season Trophy on Sunday.

Please remember it’s the end of season Trophy this Sunday and if you’re not entered for the Winter Series or paid winter storage you need to take your boat home.

AND

even if you paid winter storage, if  your boat is in the area where the Sandhoppers or Cruisers live over the winter you will need to move your boats out of the way.

The entry form for the Winter and Icicle Series of races can be downloaded from the link below.  Forms are also available from the bar.

Fee £70 per boat, or £60 if entry and fee are received by the Club Secretary by Sunday 8th October.

Bart’s Bash 2017 – TBYC Supp SIs Amended

I’d just like to thank all the people that helped on Sunday launching extra support boats and recovering the RIBs following the eventful end of the Sandhopper Nationals! It’s at times like this that the spirit of the club and it’s members really do shine through.

As you probably know all ended well with no injuries and Zeus was recovered quickly that night with minimal damage ( I think). And it even got a mention in the Echo!

it’s that time of year again where we get to race against the rest of the world and see how good we / our venue / our race laying is.

Graham Dare will be setting a lovely course for us all, it will be a mass start this Sunday at 9:30.

Can I urge you to sign up and donate as a competitor here http://www.bartsbash.com/participant-sign-up

as it is a great charity and it’s good fun to see how you do on the overall results.

see you on the water at the weekend. Chris
